Pep Guardiola is set to reach yet another milestone in his illustrious career with his 1,000th game as a coach when he leads Manchester City in a highly anticipated Premier League match against Liverpool on Sunday.
Veteran English manager Neil Warnock expressed his appreciation of the Catalan tactician with a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that read, “Congratulations Pep on your 1,000th game in management I can’t remember that far back reaching mine."

“Seriously though, to achieve that number of games at that level and with all the success, makes you the best manager I’ve seen," he added.
“Enjoy your 1,000th game, but enjoy it by being disciplined," Warnock’s post concluded.
Guardiola made his managerial debut on September 2, 2007, for Barcelona ‘B’ in a Spanish fourth-tier match against Premia. Eighteen years later, he is set to manage his 1000th game against Liverpool.
From his initial role with Barcelona ‘B’ to trophy-laden tenures with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, here is a numerical look at Guardiola’s remarkable coaching career that has transformed football.
Guardiola began his career with Barcelona ‘B’ and then took charge of the senior team, revolutionising modern football. He later moved to Bayern Munich, turning them into a European powerhouse, before taking a year’s sabbatical and joining Manchester City in 2016.
Guardiola has a win rate of 71.57 per cent in his 999 games as a manager, averaging a trophy every 25 games. He is also Manchester City’s longest-serving manager, leading the club to numerous titles.
Twice in his career, Guardiola has seen his teams score 9 goals in a match. First with Barcelona in a 9-0 victory over L’Hospitalet in the Copa del Rey in December 2011, and then with Manchester City in a 9-0 win over Burton Albion in the English League Cup in January 2019.
Guardiola has won the UEFA Champions League three times, in 2009, 2011, and 2023, only behind the legendary Carlo Ancelotti, who has won the title five times.
